Empty Hollow
CD Review



        I found Empty Hollow's demo of #1 picks to be your typical independent rock metal band demo.  I can't say anything about it really stood out.  Still, listening to it while driving home, it was better than 80 percent of  the stuff on the radio and provided fairly decent driving music.  When you're stuck in traffic, it's better to be stuck in traffic with a good beat in your head.  As with all good rock metal bands the beat was solid throughout, but the lyrics occasionally got repetitive and, to me, left something to be desired.  I know, I know, it's not about the lyrics, but to me repetitive lyrics are about as annoying as a 5 minute guitar solo.  Tracks 2 and 5, Dreamchaser and Alone In the Blue, I thought were a league above the rest.  I could hear the Smashing Pumpkins influence in those two which I love.
